John 19:30
" when he had received the drink, Jesus said, โIt is finished.โ With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit "
It is finished! Jesusโ final word (tetelestai in the ancient Greek) was the cry of a winner. Jesus had finished the eternal purpose of the cross. It stands today as a finished work, the foundation of all Christian peace and faith, paying in full the debt we righteously owed to God and making peace between God and man.
i. A single word can change everything. โNot guiltyโ in a court of law changes everything. โFairโ on the playing field changes everything. When a woman says โYesโ to a marriage proposal it changes everything. โGoodbyeโ can change everything. Yet, there has never been a single-word said that has impacted history than what Jesus said in John 19:30.
ii. At some point before He died, before the veil was torn in two, before He cried out it is finished, an awesome spiritual transaction took place. God the Father laid upon God the Son all the guilt and wrath our sin deserved, and He bore it in Himself perfectly, totally satisfying the wrath of God for us.
iii. โIt was a Conquerorโs cry; it was uttered with a loud voice. There is nothing of anguish about it, there is no wailing in it. It is the cry of One who has completed a tremendous labor.โ (Spurgeon)
iv. โJesus died with the cry of the Victor on His lips. This is not the moan of the defeated, nor the sigh of patient resignation. It is the triumphant recognition that He has now fully accomplished the work that He came to do.โ (Morris)
v. โThe verb telew (teleo, โto finishโ) was used in first and second centuries in the sense of โfulfillingโ or โpayingโ a debt and often appeared in receipts. Jesusโ statement โIt is finishedโ (tetelestai, tetelestai) could be interpreted as โPaid in full.โโ (Tenney)
vi. It was all finished, paid in full, accomplished.
ยท The types, promises, and prophecies were finished.
ยท The sacrifices and ceremonies of the priesthood were finished.
ยท His perfect obedience was finished.
ยท The satisfaction of Godโs justice was finished.
ยท The power of Satan, sin, and death was finished.
vii. โFrom the gates of Eden the blood of sacrifice had begun to flow, augmented by the confluent streams of the years. From that moment, however, not another drop need be shed. The types were finished now that the Antitype had been realized.โ (Meyer)
viii. โHas he finished his work for me? Then I must get to work for him, and I must persevere until I finish my work, too; not to save myself, for that is all done, but because I am saved.โ (Spurgeon) ๐๐๐ฏ๐

CULTISTrsvp posts - The power of Satan, sin, and >>>death<<< was finished.'
But not so with you according to your CULT doctrine of FOR EVER - 'ETERNAL TORMENT' right??? So according to you, continual sinners never DIE in the one day made 'lake of fire' outside OBVIOUSLY of the HOLY CITY (Revelation 20:9), and you believe the SINLESS saints will continue to look upon this 'eternal torment' as you call it and Father YHWH will give continual sinners eternal life in that fire!!! Right?
Also since you don't believe the 'wages of sin is DEATH' (Romans 6:23) then you neither believe your 'jesus' paid the price of neither DEATH nor FOR EVER - 'ETERNAL TORMENT' right???

So was this PROPHECY 'finished' at His death in the verse below by this PROPHET???
Isaiah 66:23 - 'And it shall come to pass, >>>that from one New Moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another<<<, shall all flesh (not just JEWS or ISRAEL!) come to worship before me, saith the MASTER.!!!
